Harry blames himself and Sisto for what happened to Bella. Does his guilt and blame have merit? Do you think Sisto is a changed man?

I know most cops would be thinking "If I'd only been there...." I don't think either of them are actually to blame. Should they drop their own work and help Bella just because she is a woman? Was there any way of knowing that she would be in personal danger just by picking up a metal detector and going to the victim's home? If the cop was a man wanting to do the same thing, would they blame themselves?

I think Sisto can learn a lot from working with Bosch. He seems willing to learn.

I understand why he feels guilty. She ended up going to a crime scene alone, which is never a good thing but Harry does it all the time. Sisto blew her off but she could have insisted. It was just a bad set of circumstances and no one but Dockweiler is to blame.

I think Sisto feels guilt but he’s using it productively by plugging in and getting better.
